Knife Making and Forging

Hello and Welcome to my Hobby

I started learning knife making and blacksmithing in 2022 and I'm still learning. I created this channel to share my progress and some of my creations. Everything here was made in my garage workshop. I hope you find some inspiration in my videos.

My profile picture is a sculpture of a Thunderbird (I also like to make sculptures 😎). I made it from aluminum, brass, and copper. I used vitreous enamel on the copper for color.

Thanks for Watching!

    It looks really cool, but didn't you effectively made a bimetallic surface which bends when it gets hotter?

  • @artmetalscience66
    @artmetalscience66Ай бұрын

    Interesting question, the copper is brazed to the steel at close to the melting point of copper, I actually melted some of it out during the forging step, the knife was later hardened by quenching in oil from 1500F, there was never any noticeable bending. The copper is symmetrical around the steel core of the knife, could be that the symmetry of the construction acts to balance the forces and minimize bending when heated.

  • @artmetalscience66
    @artmetalscience66Ай бұрын

    It's something that takes a lot of practice (for me anyways), you could try using a bevel grinding jig also, that can make it easier. Make sure you start with a flat blade and get a good centerline mark for reference before you start grinding the bevels. Thanks for watching!

    I also want to make a kiridashi, but very different from this one. A very simple, light and small one (at home I always use a knife holding it by the blade, to have more precision, I recently made a cover for the mora blade, very excellent, leaving just the tip out, it looked like a tiny mora, but it It's still big and spacious and made of carbon steel, maybe my kiridashi is too, but I wouldn't mind letting it oxidize a little). Yours looks really cool, it seems very resistant and reliable, just like the kaiken knife, your videos are great, I think it's only a matter of time before your channel explodes, it's one of the best forging channels I've ever seen, I've already subscribed. Thanks for the videos

I came for the habaki shorts, but I don't like welding, anyway, it looks really cool, and it still looks very cheap, I'm not in the mood to buy leather, so a wooden sheath is a great option (I've never even seen a kydex other than the s sheaths holsters already made, and I don't want to use PVC)
